The face shape is not the most important
One of the most widespread myths is that you need to first identify your face shape to pick eyeglasses that complement your features. However, if you’ve ever looked at pictures of different shaped faces, round, square, triangular, heart-shaped, etc, you probably got stuck. That’s because most people don’t neatly match up to one shape. It’s more probable that your face combines the elements of a few different shapes, and you don’t need to pinpoint them to find the best-looking glasses.
Your glasses must feel comfortable
If you are feeling like your eyeglasses aren’t sitting properly on your face and are causing some discomfort, then you are definitely in need of an adjustment. Many people simply settle, getting used to eyeglasses that pinch slightly behind their ears or press on the sides of their noses. Uncomfortable glasses are not something anyone should live with! When frames fit right, they feel good, they don’t slip, pinch, lead to headaches, or brush up against your eyelashes.
There are measurements that actually matter
There are three main measurements that really matter when it comes to eyeglasses that properly fit. These measurements include frame width, arm length, and bridge size. The width of your eyeglasses is important for reasons beyond giving you an attractive appearance. It’s also linked to the placement of your pupils within each lens, which is inextricably connected to the quality of your vision. The arms of your eyeglasses should go straight back towards your ears and only contact the side of your head just in front of your ears. The bridge is the part of your eyeglasses that goes over your nose. It needs to fit snugly, not pinching or sliding around loosely.
If you are asking yourself if your eyeglasses fit, then it is time to bring them into Mountain Eye Care for a proper fitting. Whether you buy your eyeglasses from us, or you have a pair that needs an adjustment, our team of vision specialists is here to help!
